Postcards.
Transformed into a literary game and a drawing tool, the french itinerary website Mappy.fr allows me to create incongruous journeys and to link unusual place names together. Thus, the city of Viens (“Come” in french) becomes the starting point of a trip to the village of La Maison (“Home” in french). This poetic diversion of the cartographic app is archived via screenshot, and the potential route is then displayed in exhibition spaces as free postcards, hopefully waiting to go on a physical journey.
